I dont think thats a reason not to sign him though.. I mean he is playing tackle after all not WR...

Or, hopefully, not chasing a guy he should have blocked like Umguna Kikbuti (sp?) in that Rams game there.

Maybe...maybe not. Obviously Runyan isn't a long term fix. Maybe a year or two at best. In all likelihood, Runyan probably wouldn't be able to contribute significantly until week 3 or 4...maybe longer depending on conditioning and how his knee reacts. So we are talking about a 35 year vet that is most likely out of shape, and recovering from a knee injury...and hopefully getting 10-12 games out of him as a starter this season. I think I would rather see them put the time and effort into a younger guy like Ryan O'Callaghan or Ike Ndukwe (who although probably belongs at RG).
